Strilets V. Ensuring the development of small business in the conditions of transformation of the national economy of Ukraine

The conceptual principles of ensuring the development of micro-entrepreneurship in the conditions of the transformation of the national economy based on the use of bibliometric analysis tools to confirm the validity of the focus on information, logistics, institutional, institutionary, financial and credit support of the micro-entrepreneurship, as well as definitions for each the main risks and ways to lev-el them, new opportunities and ways to implement them, due to the specifics of the transformation period of the economy of Ukraine. The coordination of actions of the state and business in ensuring the develop-ment of micro-entrepreneurship is studied on the basis of calculation of integrated in-dices, which assess the contribution of the business sector to the development of mi-cro-entrepreneurship and the role of the state in creating appropriate institutional con-ditions in the country. The EU countries and Ukraine were clustered according to the relevant indicators, the results of cluster analysis were interfered and a matrix of pub-lic-private partnership success in micro-entrepreneurship development was formed, which segments countries according to the level of synergy of state efforts (creating favorable conditions for micro-entrepreneurship development) and business (efficien-cy of transformation of created opportunities into strengths of the activity). Regional priorities for the formation of state programs to support micro-entrepreneurship, based on the results of clustering of regions of Ukraine by the method of k-averages according to the level of branching of the created by the state infrastructure of supporting the development of micro-entrepreneurship, activity of public authorities and local governments to improve business culture and effective-ness of financial support by the state. An integrated assessment of the state's compli-ance with international standards of micro-entrepreneurship support based on the ma-trix of positioning of Ukraine in terms of efficiency and dynamics of legislative initia-tives to comply with the principles of the Small Business Act, as well as comparison of domestic and European practice of using grants and guaranteed loans from interna-tional institutions. The hypotheses that small entrepreneurs in Ukraine in the early stages of the life cycle of their business have a significantly greater advantage in attracting resources from the budget or state extra-budgetary funds compared to business angels, bank loans, venture capital and crowdfunding are proved. The compliance between the levels of tax pressure and regulatory intervention of the state in the activities of small business (by absolute and relative parameters of the tax burden on micro-entrepreneurship, the quality of tax administration (by time and motivational effect)) and the corresponding contribution of micro-entrepreneurship to the national economy (by taxes paid, manufactured products, value added, number of employees, etc.) has been conducted. It has been substantiated that the main source of imbalance of interests of micro-entrepreneurship and the state in Ukraine is excessive tax pressure on micro-entrepreneurship and burdensome regulatory intervention of the state in the activities of micro-entrepreneurship.
